<p>I just want to know how much emphasis nyu puts on the subject tests.</p>
<p>My guidance counselor told me that most colleges don't really use the subject tests for determining admission, most just use them for course placement. Is this true? Or am I just getting my hopes up :/</p>
<p>I think NYU doesn't place too much emphasis on them.</p>
<p>I BOMBED my SAT II (literally, too embarrassing to post haha), but my GPA (4.0) and SAT (for the most part) and recs (amazing) and ECs were good.</p>
<p>So i think as long as everything else is pretty good, you will be OK.</p>
<p>For SAT, I think they care most about the reasoning test--especially since those are the scores that they report IMHO.</p>
<p>that is such a relief! I bombed my SATII's too. But everything else is good.</p>
<p>I think the purpose of the SAT II is to see how you did on tests that were specialized towards a specific topic. The reason I say this is because those auditioning for an audition/portfolio required major do not need to submit SAT II's. They're looking to see how you did on specific academic evaluations, instead of the general SAT I.</p>
<p>^I agree. The main focus is on the reasoning test, I figure if you get above 600 on a subject test it should be fine.</p>
